hopes of ever being able to read again.
The last three weeks, however, with
the aid of your glasses my eyes have
been wonderfully benefited, and have
been enabled to do a great deal of read
ing, the first | had done in two years,
and moreover | have great hopes OF
their entire recovery in a few years. |
cannot too highly recommend your
glass to my friends. Yours respectful
